E a New York intanto hanno inaugurato la The Moynihan Train Hall (in ritardo di 20 anni) che risarcisce la distruzione della Penn Station.
Money quote "Moynihan Train Hall, as the new facility is called, occupies the middle slice of the James A. Farley Building, which had been—and partially still is—an iconic New York post office, built in 1912, and also a product of McKim, Mead & White’s studio. The new transit facility, sitting just opposite Madison Square Garden between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, is named for Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the long-serving United States senator from New York who was among the first to suggest the reportedly underused postal building as a suitable alternative to the botched Penn Station. As the senator is said to have observed, “Where else but in New York could you tear down a beautiful Beaux Arts building and find another one right across the street?”"

Quel piccolo, lurido segreto di Android: la frammentazione.
Money quote: "Android fragmentation has always been an issue but it’s one that many industry onlookers (including myself) thought would improve over time. On the contrary, it seems to be as problematic as ever, so while it’s all well and good defending Android’s open source merits and unique features over the idiot-proof usability of iOS, the question seems increasingly null when hardly any Android devices actually run recent software.
The latest and greatest Google functionality, therefore, isn’t available to huge swathes of Android users – and this is the crux of the problem with Android fragmentation."

Money quote: "DataRobot’s bread and butter is turning vast troves of raw data, which all modern businesses accumulate, into predictions of future action, which all modern companies desire. Its clients include Monsanto and the CIA’s venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel. But not all of DataRobot’s clients are looking to pad their revenues; DHS plans to integrate the code into an existing DHS offering called the Global Travel Assessment System, or GTAS, a toolchain that has been released as open source software and which is designed to make it easy for other countries to quickly implement no-fly lists like those used by the U.S."

È da un po' che sui miei canali - nei percorsi che seguo in rete - continuo ad inciampare su BeOS e la sua versione moderna, Haiku. Un motivo ci dovrà pur essere. Sto cominciando a leggere con maggiore attenzione per capire. E magari, chissà, anche provare. Leggete questo vecchio articolo.

La piovra è un animale molto, molto intelligente. Gli manca solo la parola. Forse.
Money quote: "For scientists who study animal behavior, intelligence is not about acing a calculus test or taking a car apart and putting it back together. Intelligence comprises sophisticated cognitive skills that help an animal thrive.
That may include the ability to come up with solutions to the problem of finding food, for example, or a knack for planning for some challenge in the future. Intelligent animals don’t rely on fixed responses to survive — they can invent new behaviors on the fly."

I dati sono la cartografia dell'interno della nostra psiche (qualunque cosa sia l'interno della nostra psiche. Però fa impressione dirlo). Tuttavia siamo abbastanza daccordo che il vero rischio scaturente dai grandi bestioni che usano l'intelligenza artificiale e i big data è il fatto che uccidono il pensiero indipendente. No? Articolo breve, podcast medio, libro lungo (ma interessante): “World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech”. Dopo due anni se ne parla ancora.
Money quote: "“Facebook and Google are constantly organizing things in ways in which we’re not really cognizant, and we’re not even taught to be cognizant, and most people aren’t, and done in a way in which they’re leveraging our data,” Foer said. “Our data is this cartography of the inside of our psyche. They know our weaknesses, and they know the things that give us pleasure and the things that cause us anxiety and anger. They use that information in order to keep us addicted. That makes the companies the enemies of independent thought.”"

Scatto da anni e anni foto in bianco e nero. Sempre o quasi sempre in bianco e nero. E questa cosa del bianco e nero che sta tornando, in alcuni ambiti (non solo nella fotografia), mi fa solo piacere. Ricordate "Roma"?
Money quote: "Per molti, bianco e nero = vecchio. Oppure, al massimo, bianco e nero = noioso. Cuarón ha spiegato a IndieWire di aver scelto di girare in bianco e nero perché è un film di ricordi, ma di aver cercato di ottenere un bianco e nero contemporaneo, che non fosse vintage e nostalgico e che «non sembrasse quello di un film degli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta». È in effetti tra le cose più apprezzate del film e i critici l’hanno definito luminoso e radiante."

Quel pasticciaccio brutto di Urania: è uscito un romanzo in edicola con alcune pagine rimescolate per un errore di rilegatura. Poca roba, poche pagine e che comunque sono solo spostate, non mancano. Mondadori però l’ha presa sul serio e ci mette una toppa. Uno scherzo che dal punto di vista economico costerà un sacco di soldi.
Money quote: “”Tutti coloro che hanno già acquistato il libro nella sua versione fallata potranno rivolgersi al proprio edicolante per farselo sostituire con una nuova copia, non appena la nuova tiratura sarà a disposizione dei punti vendita, cosa che cercheremo di realizzare nel minor tempo possibile.

La nostra coscienza, il nostro io, il nostro "self", dove sta? Nella testa? L'identificazione che ne diamo con la testa è fortissima - ci sono anche molti organi di senso e poi c'è il cervello - ma ovviamente la storia è molto diversa.
Money quote: "My colleagues and I recently took this idea of embodied consciousness further and looked into mapping the ‘cartography’ of conscious feelings onto the body (building on our earlier work on the bodily basis of emotions). We first generated a list of 100 common feelings such as such as seeing, breathing, hunger, pleasure and so forth, and asked participants to locate these states on their bodies by colouring in the regions of a human shape where each sensation was felt. We also gathered basic information regarding each feeling, such as how pleasant these states were, how often they are experienced, and how similar different states feel when experienced."

Mentre non ho problemi con le cose che navigano nell'aria, le cose che navigano sull'acqua (o sotto, se è per questo) non mi piacciono per niente. Adesso, dopo aver letto questo articolo, francamente la voglia di prendere una nave da crociera mi è passata completamente.
Money quote: "Of the millions of people like Samantha Broberg who step onto cruise ships each year, few are aware that their personal safety is in the hands of one of the world’s most globalized, legally complex, and opaque industries. While the vast majority will not meet tragic fates like Broberg’s, her story shows how the expectations passengers have about their rights and safety on board a cruise ship do not always match the reality.
Since 2000, 284 people have fallen off cruise ships—and another 41 from large ferries—an average of about 1.5 people per month"
